Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial
CB-839 in Combination With Niraparib in Platinum Resistant BRCA -Wild-type Ovarian Cancer Patients
Summary
The purpose of this protocol is to investigate the efficacy of the combination of CB-839 with Niraparib in platinum resistant BRCA wild-type ovarian cancer patients. The primary and secondary objectives are to determine the maximum tolerated dose of CB-839 in combination with Niraparib and to determine the response rate and percentage of participants who remain progression free at 6 months.
Full Description
Based on the scientific rationale, pre-clinical data, and clinical data available to date, and the need for further treatment options in patients that are platinum resistance that are specifically BRCA wild-type. Only patients carrying wild type BRCA genes will be enrolled in the study. The proposed research tests a new therapeutic strategy for ovarian cancer with a very novel mechanistic target: metabolic dependency of ovarian cancer. Pre-clinical results indicate that both serous and clear cells ovarian cancers have upregulation of Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIF) HIF1a and Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIF) HIF2a regulated genes. In addition, cell line models of these tumors display sensitivity to CB-839 in vitro. Ovarian cancers resistant to standard platinum chemotherapy may thus respond to treatment with this glutaminase inhibitor. The majority of patients do not present mutations in BRCA or any other genes of the Fanconi pathway, but their tumors may respond to CB-839, which in turn may lead to genomic instabilities due to nucleotide deprivation; therefore, CB-839 could sensitize the tumors to treatment with Niraparib.
